How to convert (from all caps sentence) the first letter of the sententence
to Capital and the rest all in small - just like we write ordinary English
language. The 'Proper( )' function converts to Capital the first letter of
each word in the sentence. This does not serve the purpose.

Hi

Try...
=LEFT(A1,1)&LOWER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1))

Use this formula in B1, assuming the sentence to be converted is in A1
=UPPER(LEFT(A1))&LOWER(MID(A1,2,LEN(A1)))

Here is a UDF

Private Function SentenceCase(ByVal para As String) As String
Dim oRegExp As Object
Dim oMatch As Object
Dim oMatches As Object

para = LCase(para)
Set oRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
oRegExp.Pattern = "^[a-z]|\.( )*[a-z]"
oRegExp.Global = True
Set oMatches = oRegExp.Execute(para)
For Each oMatch In oMatches
With oMatch
Mid(para, .FirstIndex + 1 + .Length - 1, 1) = _
UCase(Mid(para, .FirstIndex + 1 + .Length - 1, 1))
End With
Next oMatch
SentenceCase = para
End Function


Use like

=SentenceCase(A1)
